The article highlights Toronto Raptors' strategy for the ongoing season, emphasizing the need to prioritize the upcoming draft amidst their current challenges. The author's reflection on past decisions, particularly regarding the Wembanyama draft, outlines the pitfalls of not rebuilding effectively. While the trade for Brandon Ingram adds talent, his injury status means he won't significantly impact the current team. As the Raptors sit in a favorable draft position, the author suggests that adding a top prospect could transform the team's future trajectory, advocating for a focus on development over immediate competitiveness.
The goal remains the same this season: keep the draft at the forefront of our priorities. Acquiring an all-star player for relatively cheap seems to be a quality move.
Bringing in a high pick in a stacked class combined with a healthy Brandon Ingram could quickly change Toronto's fortunes in the not-so-distant future.
